It's a common superstition that Flair grows taller when she smokes the smoke she breathes.It is true that I went to a shrine in the early days of the year, and I felt that my head would get better if I came into contact with smoke.

Well, as is often said, the important thing here is not superstition, but that Flair is doing it.From that, Mr. Flair wants to grow in height... which means he has a complex at his current height...

In support of such an idea, Mr Flair opened his mouth with a thoughtful expression.

"Please, don't laugh at me, comrade.I understand that such a story is unfounded superstition.But it is. Even if you know it's superstition, there's nothing you can do but trust it. "

"Um... of course I don't laugh.Does Mr. Flair want to grow in height?

Complex is something that everyone has.Even people who seem perfect by the side sometimes have a complex that only the person can understand.

Speaking of this time, I wonder if it is a personality, because Flair is talking without deception, so it would be NG to pretend not to listen.Then I think it is best to encourage the continuation of the story as naturally as possible.

"My comrades, the dragon species is the most diverse species in the magical world.Ecology and body are varied and numerous.Therefore, the dragon species is the size of the body and is divided into four more species. "

"Hmm...."

"Firstly, small species with a total length of less than 5 m, medium species with a length of 5 m or more but less than 10 m, large species with a length of 10 m or more, and ultra-large species with a length of more than 100 m are classified.And I'm... I'm... classified as a small species among them. "

Flair gripped his fist with regret.It felt as if there were unparalleled emotions in it.

"Of course Magnawell, all four other dragons are super large species, so I really care about that.I don't really want to be a super large species.But... at least that's what makes me want to be a medium breed. "

……

"I know it's difficult for me.But I threw it away beautifully.If this is an obviously distant goal, I will give up.However, my total length is 4m80cm... yes, it's only 20cm to the standard of a medium-sized species, and the size that would have arrived if even one horn had grown on me would have been beautiful. "

My sense of being a human is 20cm, but for the dragon species Flair, 20cm is the size that can be reached if you stretch it out.

When I hear Flair's thoughts, I open my mouth with a straight look into Flair's eyes.

"... Mr. Flair, I know how you feel... painfully."

"My comrades..."

"Because I have the same problem!

"Hmm, what!?Do your comrades share my concerns?

Yes, let's be clear.I know how Mr. Flair feels!I mean, I've been having similar problems.

"Yes, I'm 169cm tall... 170cm short of just 1cm.No, I know.There are few people who can tell the difference of 1cm by the side.Even if I lie about 170cm, no one will ever point out that it's a mistake... but it's not! It's a big difference between 169cm and 170cm that I can have confidence of my own. "

"Ah, oh, I see.I know, buddy!An incomprehensible person would say, 'Range of error'... but for us, it's not an error!

"That's right.My head understands.I understand that it is unlikely that I will grow taller after my growth period.But every time I get a chance to measure my height with a medical examination or something, I expect it to grow a little over a cm. "

"Oh, my God.I know, the pain of my comrades... is transmitted to me as if I were you!

Mr Flair nods many times while moisturising his eyes at my words.I'm sure my eyes are moist now.There are things that work together because those who have the experience of expecting it to be broken over and over again.

I reached out to Mr. Flair while realizing that I was feeling emotional.

"Mr. Flair! Let's not give up hope for each other!Unless you give up, the possibilities will never be zero!

"My comrades!?Oh, what a nice word!For the first time in the dark, I'm in the mood for hope!

Me and Mr Flair shake hands tightly.I wonder what this feeling is... is that the soul is bound together, but I know exactly how Flair said that he spent hope in the dark.

Now, there is a strong and hard bond between me and Mr. Flair.Those who share the same suffering and still try to confront each other, trying to resist each other... have formed exactly what should be called a bond of comrades.
